Luminance

Luminance Technologies Ltd. is a UK-headquartered legal-AI company, founded in 2015 out of Cambridge mathematics research, that builds what it markets as Legal-Grade AI for the full contract lifecycle — drafting, negotiation, analysis, compliance, investigation and collaboration. The platform is delivered as a per-customer instance (an "instance moniker" subdomain) and exposes a documented RESTful HTTP/JSON API that lets external software read and act on projects, folders, documents, matters, matter versions, tasks, reviews, annotations, workflows and document templates, plus machine-learning surfaces such as Traffic Light Analysis and annotation-driven contract intelligence. Three OpenAPI 3.0 versions are published from Luminance's own API host: v1.3.0 and v1.4.0 (OAuth2 client-credentials) and the newer "Public API v2" v1.5, which is deployed by standard to Luminance product versions 1.43.0 onward. Authentication is OAuth2 client credentials against the customer instance token endpoint, and API traffic is rate limited to 100 requests every 10 minutes.

agent ready

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Luminance the way a machine reads it — 48 machine-readable artifacts across 21 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Luminance scores 45.4/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 42/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Luminance

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Luminance. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 21

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Luminance Accounts API

The Accounts API from Luminance — 6 operation(s) for accounts.

Luminance Annotation Source Relations API

The Annotation Source Relations API from Luminance — 2 operation(s) for annotation source relations.

Luminance Annotation Sources API

The Annotation Sources API from Luminance — 2 operation(s) for annotation sources.

Luminance Annotation Types API

The Annotation Types API from Luminance — 2 operation(s) for annotation types.

Luminance Annotations API

The Annotations API from Luminance — 12 operation(s) for annotations.

Luminance Contract Creation API

Open Collections 21

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Security Posture 3

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Scopes 1

OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Luminance, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
